Basic Heavy-Impact Sniper Scope Help

I've seen a handful of people stating that they're having trouble using the Heavy-Impact Sniper because they're unfamiliar with how to use the scope and judge for distance. So here's a very basic rundown that may help!

Terminology

Bullet Travel Time - How long the bullet takes to get to the target when you fire. The further they are, the longer it will take.
Bullet Drop - The amount a bullet will drop across distance. The further it has to travel, the lower it will land.
Stadia Lines - The little tick marks or lines on the scope cross hairs. Each big line should be roughly 100m. The smaller lines are 50m.

Bullet Travel Time: Accounting for travel time on a moving target, you need to try and calculate where they're going to be rather than where they are. A sniper shot can take 1-2 seconds to get to where it's going depending on how far away they are. So if they're actively running, you want to shoot ahead of them to where they'll be in that time. Use the horizontal stadia lines to help with judging this distance. It will take some time and practice as you get more used to the gun.

Bullet Drop: Depending on how far away your target is (you can drop a marker and it'll tell you) you want to aim above them to accommodate for the bullet drop. The Heavy-Impact Sniper scope has stadia lines that will help you judge distance and drop. Each big line should be 100m if I'm not mistaken. So, for example, if your marker says the enemy is roughly 200m away, you want to put that 200m line on their head because that's roughly where the bullet is going to land. The smaller lines between the big ones should be 50m so use them accordingly.

If you're opposed to dropping markers to get a distance reading, you can actually use the stadia lines to judge the size of your target and calculate distance, but this is more advanced and would take a very long write-up to explain.

Hope this helps! 👍

Weekly Shop Trailer Removed - Coming Correction?

The Weekly Shop Trailer has been taken down. Considering the faults in Harley's swimsuit and the glitch in Ivy's hair (also her different model), are we about to see a final correction? What else could change?

Power Hour + Punk + Flare Gun

An entire match with this Shock Rock / Punk Sprite / Flare Gun combo was just ridiculous fun. I probably fired over a hundred flares and we just watched marked enemies fight each other like angry ants. 10/10 Power Hour 😂

In-Game Wishlist Feature Suggestion

With sites like Fortnite GG and such letting players create a wishlist of cosmetics they want, I don't see why Epic themselves can't implement a similar feature to the item shop.

Allow players to create a wishlist of items from the shop that they want. Whenever an item on your wishlist comes into rotation, it can pop up in your "Curated Picks" section to let you know it's available.

Similarly, they could add a small, unobtrusive icon to items that are on your friends wishlists. This would let you know what your friends want so if you want to gift them something, you know what they'd like. The image above is just a two minute mockup I made in MS Paint at work, but it could be something similar.

Seems like an easy way to encourage the community to support each other and give a little bump to shop profits for Epic. Everybody wins.

Bunnii O'Hare Style Decals

Just something I noticed; out of all of her styles, only the pink version has different decals on her suit.

Gummy ZP Acquired 🥳

Going for the Car Wash Bunker and ran into a duo trying to do a swap. Hate it for them, but it was the highlight of our matches. 😅

C7S2 Showdown - The Final Push

Team Ice King has only ten hours to rack up 16% on the final track for a definitive finish. Do you think they'll make it?

Flex SMG Returning in C7S3? 👀

I honestly loved the Flex SMG and was sad that it only stuck around for such a short time. I'm really hoping this is a sign that it's coming back to the loot pool in C7S3!

Battlewood -> Battlewoods?

The latest loading screen gives us more of Dylan and Cluster doing their thing, but I'm more curious as to the change in the "Battlewoods" in the background. Is this part of the big change in map center?

Season 2 Epilogue Predictions

Over the course of Act II & III of this season, we've seen a number of characters that include The Elites and the Overwatch cast come to the aid of Team Foundation to take on Team Ice King. As we get ready to shift into the Season 2 Epilogue, what are you expecting to see as a result of the conflict? Will Team Ice King receive their own batch of reinforcements to re-balance the scales? If so, who do you think we'll see and why? If not, do you think we'll see Foundation finally topple the Ice King with the help of his recent additions?

Elemental Court Bundle

Two characters, two wraps, two pickaxes, two sets of kicks and an emote for 2700. What do we think? Not a bad bundle IMO. 🤔

u/ThatRanMan — 3 months ago

Etheria and her backbling both hit the shop yesterday, but her pickaxe came out two weeks ago rather than at the same time. Is there a logical reason behind this? Kinda bummed I can’t get the whole kit and it could be a hot minute before her pickaxe comes back considering the release history. 😕
